Standish Estate Purchase

32-acre site near Stroud within the Cotswold AONB
We have completed the purchase of the Standish Estate, a beautiful 32-acre site near Stroud in Gloucestershire, within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The wooded estate is home to a collection of historic buildings, including a Grade II listed Georgian manor house, two distinctive Art Deco-style ward buildings and a former hydrotherapy pool house.

Planning permission has been granted to transform the site into 147 homes, including 48 homes created through the restoration and conversion of the existing heritage buildings and 99 new homes designed specifically for this unique setting.

The development will also include extensive improvements to the grounds, with new footpaths, enhanced open spaces and ecological habitat improvements.

Director James Woodmansee said: “We are very pleased to now be in a position to start work to save these important heritage buildings and give them a new purpose.

“After being boarded up for more than a decade, the buildings were in danger of being lost forever. We will use the skills and expertise we have developed over four decades to bring them back to life and create a truly stunning development that respects this unique and beautiful location.”
